How do headphone checks impact perception data?

Headphone checks have rapidly become an assumed part of best practices in online perception studies.  Do they actually improve our ability to find phonological patterns?  They are an indirect way of trying to ensure clear audio for all participants; it is not clear that controlling for this aspect of the participants' listening setup will necessarily decrease overall variation or produce better results.  This study attempts to replicate three perceptual effects that depend on different aspects of the acoustic signal, testing whether excluding participants based on two headphone checks (Huggins pitch perception, Milne et al 2021; dichotic loudness perception, Woods et al 2017) makes the results clearer.  The Huggins check improves results for how spectral tilt influences duration perception, but no other results were improved by either headphone check.

Kinerja Pra Produksi, Proses Produksi, dan Pasca Produksi pada Siaran Radio Berbasis Dakwah Islami

Today's increasingly sophisticated and modern technology is an opportunity for Islamic da'wah activists. Da'wah can not only be carried out in mosques with lectures, but can also utilize social media as a means and infrastructure in broadcasting Islamic values. Islam is a da'wah religion which requires its adherents to always carry out da'wah activities in society. In the context of da'wah activities, it can be carried out in various ways that are not contrary to Islamic teachings, one of which can be done through electronic mass media such as radio. Radio as an effective mass media in disseminating information, various kinds of information can be conveyed with clear audio and in language that is easily understood by the general public. Radio also causes dependence on the community because it cannot be separated from the habit of listening to the radio because radio gives its listeners satisfaction with the radio being very practical so that people can listen to radio anywhere and anytime. Da'wah through radio certainly has careful preparation starting from the pre-production of radio broadcasts on the basis of Islamic da'wah, to the manufacturing process to the final stage of making the broadcast or post-production of the radio broadcast, and whether the results meet the standards of public satisfaction, this is what must be addressed. do it with as much effort as possible, because da'wah broadcasts through radio must be made by presenting broadcasts that interest the public or the public to listen to them so that the production of da'wah broadcasts that we make continues to run and is popular with the general public. And Islamic da'wah can be spread through radio broadcasts.

Blind separation of speech from aortic regurgitation signals using Dhoulath’s method

ABSTRACT Conducting auscultation of traumatically distressed patients has always been demanding for medical professionals. The challenge calls for an innovative solution enabling doctors to conduct precise diagnoses despite other sound interference. This suggested study presents an entirely non-invasive and convenient method designed to aid doctors in routine diagnostic procedures. This study is centred on the segregation of aortic regurgitation heart sounds from speech. The mixture utilised for the study is a combination of speech and aortic regurgitation signals. The method applied for the study is a revised procedure of Blind Source component separation utilising a solo sensor method. With this technique, doctors are not compelled to prevent patients from articulating their pain or discomfort while diagnosing heart sounds. Doctors can offer a consoling word to patients while the auscultation is in progress without worrying about how the speech sounds affect the diagnosis. For babies, timely detection of heart-related issues can be life-saving. With Dhoulath’s method, the distressing sounds of a baby’s cries can be effectively separated, thereby offering doctors clear audio of heartbeats. The study was conducted to ascertain if heartbeats can be segregated from the signals of speech or cries. This segregation procedure has succeeded in arriving at an enhanced level of clarity.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Video teaching of piano playing and singing based on computer artificial intelligence system and virtual image processing

As an important part of vocal guidance, piano performance and singing guidance are important ways to cultivate students' interest in piano and improve their improvisational level. With the development of education, especially the rapid popularization and promotion of big data and other information technologies, traditional teacher-led performance and singing teaching models have gradually met the learning needs of students and affected their learning effects. Therefore, it is indispensable to reform and innovate the guiding philosophy and methods of performance and songs. Therefore, how to introduce big data technology into piano performance and singing guidance is worthy of in-depth discussion. Online education has obvious advantages in auditory training. Whether it is impromptu feedback through online classrooms, or completion of homework through audio, it can have the effect of "grinding ears". On the one hand, the clear audio allows students to think aurally in a good auditory environment; on the other hand, through online interactive answering, teachers can accurately understand the development of the auditory perception of the entire class, so as to adjust the training content immediately. The subject studied the problems existing in the teaching of traditional piano playing and singing, and proposed different solutions for the computer artificial intelligence system and virtual image processing technology, so that image classification and video teaching have a better recognition effect, and promote vocal music teaching forward development of.

EFFICIENCY OF ELECTRONIC EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTANCE LEARNING OF STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF LMS MOODLE AND MICROSOFT TEAMS)

The article considers ways to expand the availability of higher education for students with special educational needs. The introduction of European principles and standards in the field of education is an important step towards the implementation of the model of inclusive education in our country. The importance of distance learning as one of the available forms of education for students with disabilities in higher education institutions of Ukraine is emphasized. Information and communication technologies can be a powerful tool to support education for people with disabilities. Monitoring of students with disabilities was carried out to determine their needs in the process of obtaining higher education. The main difficulties that students with different nosologies overcome in the process of studying in higher education institutions are identified. One of the ways to improve the training of students with disabilities in modern higher education is the introduction of distance learning using electronic educational services, including platforms Moodle and Microsoft Teams. The main features and benefits of the distance course "Psychology of Health and Healthy Lifestyle", created in the Moodle system, are described. However, the disadvantage of using the Moodle platform to teach students with disabilities is the lack of personal communication with group members, which is very important when teaching students with disabilities. The differences and advantages of the Microsoft Teams service over the Moodle platform in the process of distance learning of students with special educational needs are considered. Microsoft Teams offers technologies for clear audio and video transmission, data exchange, and the organization of separate sessions for collaborative and individualized learning that simplify the learning process. The process is presented of organizing a distance course "Psychology of Health and Healthy Lifestyle" to conduct classes with students with special educational needs on the platform Microsoft Teams and emphasizes the feasibility of its implementation in higher education

Improved sound quality by using the exciter speaker in OLED panel

AbstractThe technology of using a vibrating OLED panel directly as a speaker was commercialized for the first time in 2017 in LG Display. This technology attaches a vibration actuator called an exciter to the back of the OLED panel, where it operates the OLED panel as a diaphragm of the speaker. With the development of the display maker, it developed from CRT to PDP, LCD, and LED. In the process, the image quality and appearance are leading the way. In previous studies, image and sound must be improved at the same time for easy information transmission. In addition, the concentration of watching is improved when the positions of the image and the sound match. The advantage of this technology is that it provides the viewer with direct sound coming from the panel, delivering clear audio when the sound and video appear in the same position. That gives the viewer a high intensity and maximizes the effect of information transfer. In this paper, we introduce research that generates sound directly from the exciter speaker to the panel. It also improves the sound quality of exciter speakers. Furthermore, it makes the left and right sounds independent from the sound using the exciter speakers.

Visual influences on selective adaptation in speech perception

Previous research testing audiovisual speech stimuli (videos of faces uttering syllables) suggests that selective adaptation in speech perception is purely auditory in nature (Roberts & Summerfield, 1981; Saldaña & Rosenblum, 1994; but see Bertelson, Vroomen, & de Gelder, 2003). However, this research tested whether audio, visual, or audiovisual adapters influence perception of only auditory phonemes which vary over a continuum. In the current experiment, we tested adapter influences on audiovisual stimuli which vary over a visual continuum. This test continuum consisted of nine audio-/ba/-visual-/va/ McGurk-effect stimuli (e.g. McGurk & MacDonald, 1976) ranging in clarity of visual information. The continuum was created by placing a Gaussian blur at a radius of 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 pixels over the mouth of a speaker articulating /va/. Prior to any adapter exposure, participants consistently perceived tokens from this visual continuum, dubbed with audio /ba/, as /va/ at radii of 6 to 9 pixels and as /ba/ at radii of 27 to 30 pixels, with middle-clarity stimuli perceived sometimes as /va/ and sometimes as /ba/. Participants first exposed to a clear audio-/ba/-visual-/va/ adapter perceived more continuum stimuli as /ba/, F(1,10)=8.219, p<.05, η2=.451. Participants also perceived more continuum stimuli as /ba/ following exposure to an audio-/va/-visual-/va/ adapter, F(1,8)=18.232, p<.01, η2=.695, and a visual-alone /va/ adapter, F(1,9)=11.704, p<.01, η2=.565. These results suggest that visual information can be selectively adapted in audiovisual speech perception. However, participants exposed to an audio-alone /va/ adapter did not exhibit this influence, F(1,9)=.484, p=.504, η2=.051, and there was no difference in the strength of the audio-/va/-visual-/va/ adapter and the visual-alone /va/ adapter, MD=.019, p=.800. Overall, the results suggests that, at least for blurred mouth stimuli, visual speech perception is susceptible to selective adaptation to salient visual information, but not to auditory, or cross-modal information.

Home telehealth for children with special health-care needs

The U Special Kids (USK) programme at the University of Minnesota provides intensive care coordination and case management services to children with complex special health-care needs. We conducted a one-year pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of videoconferencing between the USK office and family homes. To ensure easy installation, families were provided with prepackaged equipment and software. However, the families had different Internet providers, different modems and/or routers and different firewall software, which required case-by-case resolution during home visits by the project coordinator. Five families participated in 3-5 videoconferencing sessions with a USK nurse. All connections with urban families had clear audio and video, whereas connections with rural families had clear audio, but unclear video. All of the scheduled virtual visits were rated by nurses as providing information that was similar to a telephone call. However, the unscheduled virtual visits were rated by the nurses as providing more information than a telephone call, suggesting that home-based videoconferencing may be useful in the management of children with complex special health-care needs.

Delivery of cancer care to inmates of correctional facilities through telemedicine

8142 Background: Provision of hematology/oncology and palliative care to inmates in correctional facilities is challenging for oncologists, facility healthcare providers and patients. Necessary consultation may not be readily available to the inmate population due to multiple barriers, including distance, expense, safety and inability of inmates to travel due to illness. Methods: Using real-time videoconferencing, with clear audio and video connections, we are making symptom management, surveillance and chemotherapy follow-up visits by telemedicine, reducing the expense of security personnel and travel to tertiary care centers from correctional facilities. Most importantly, we are able to minimize discomfort for the inmate with cancer, who must endure long distance travel, wear shackles for prolonged periods and undergo possible embarrassment of being seen in public in shackles and prison garb. So far, we have seen patients with acute leukemia, lung cancer and deep venous thrombosis secondary to a hypercoagulable state. Results: We are able to examine the patient, evaluate symptoms, answer questions, and discuss management with the facility providers. Our interventions have resulted in closer and more frequent evaluation than if the patient were being seen in the clinic. The patients are appreciative of the telemedicine visits, and it appears that their needs and concerns receive more consideration because of heightened visibility. Facility providers are also appreciative of the chance to discuss the patients' case and ask questions of specialists in real time. Communication and staff education, especially in issues of palliative care are enhanced, as well as education of oncology fellows in this special form of care delivery. Laboratory and radiographic studies may be done locally and reviewed at the time of the visit. Conclusions: Telemedicine provides safe, timely, cost-conscious, and comfortable evaluation and management when the patient does not need to be seen in person or receive therapy in the clinic. We next plan to survey inmates, guards and providers, as well as evaluate cost in personnel and travel time to quantify our findings. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Instructional communication in the televised classroom: The effects of system design and teacher immediacy on student learning and satisfaction

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of conveyance system design and social presence, in the form of teacher immediacy behavior, on perceived student learning and satisfaction in the televised classroom. Results indicate that system design and teacher immediacy behavior strongly impact student learning and satisfaction. System variables such as interactivity and clear audio and video transmission positively influenced perceived learning and satisfaction. Further, instructors who engaged in immediate behaviors such as encouraging involvement, offering individual feedback, maintaining relaxed body posture and using vocal variety were viewed more favorably.
